Lionfish fins are not hollow and do not inject venom like a hypodermic needle or the fangs of a snake. The flesh of the lionfish is not poisonous or venomous. Lionfish also have very bony cheeks, but venom is not located there. Lionfish are stalking predators that often corral prey into a corner. They can consume prey that are more than half of their own length and are known to prey on more than 70 marine fish and invertebrate species including yellowtail snapper, Nassau grouper, parrotfish, banded coral shrimp, and cleaner species.
Invasive Lionfish Diet Could Impact Native Coral Reef Fishes. The beauty of lionfish makes them very popular in the aquarium trade, and their introduction into Atlantic waters was likely due to release from private aquaria. Lionfish are uninvited visitors in Atlantic waters. Now, research suggests that the diet of these invasive fish could impact the distribution of other fish living in Bahamian coral reefs. The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science and the Reef Environmental Education Foundation conducted a comprehensive study on what lionfish eat in Bahamian coral reef environments.
